Earlier this week, we detailed how WorldNetDaily had essentially teamed up with conspiracy-monger Alex Jones to lead and promote protests outside the Washington-area hotel where the Bilderberg Group was meeting last weekend. Now Jones and WND are being denounced for their Bilderberger obsession by an unlikely source — another conspiracy-mongerer.
In a June 4 Accuracy in Media column headlined “Russian Dupes Behind Bilderberger Protests,” Cliff Kincaid dismissed Jones for his regular appearances on “Moscow-funded Russia Today (RT) television” and complaining that “The major news organizations have been driven by the Drudge Report and WorldNetDaily” to cover the protests. Kincaid quotes right-wing radio host Ben Barrack asking whether Jones is a “dupe” or “actively working toward” an Islamist-led New World Order: “Islamists love Alex Jones. He runs interference for them by pushing 9/11 Conspiracy theories while publicly seeing them as a threat not worth dealing with because the NWO is actually using them for its own agenda.”
Kincaid also repeated his own previous claim that “Russia Today is eager to publicize Alex Jones and his claims about 9/11, the Bilderbergers, bankers, and various other villains and culprits because they divert attention from the increasingly totalitarian nature of the Russian regime and the military threat that Russia still poses to American interests.”
Kincaid, meanwhile, is no stranger to nutty conspiracy theories — he thinks Frank Marshall Davis is Barack Obama’s father, posits that a U.S. soldier accused of committing a massacre in Afghanistan was “programmed” by the Taliban, and tried to falsely smear Leon Panetta as a Marxist.
Don’t you love a good intra-conspiracy-mongerer fight?
